I've kinda thought JoePa wasn't playing with a full deck for a number of years now, and see this hiring as more of a move from the family to protect his name. Like I've said, he has been a stand up guy, who never did anything wrong (beyond possibly this). I think the lawyers and PR people will be there to try a protect that.

I'll say this again, I am in no way fully defending this guy. What he may have done was dead wrong. But I find it odd that he has been at the centre of this controversy, and not the person who allegedly committed these crimes, or those above JoePa who apparently did nothing to stop it.

I for one don't know all the details yet, but can we honestly say what exactly was told to JoePa about this incident? Remember, this did not happen yesterday. As much as we don't like thinking about it, times have changed. We now are more aware of the dangers of pedos. I'm not saying we didn't before, but there was a time when people didn't know how to handle it, or who to go to. Like has been said, people who were trained to see this type of behavior, didn't pick up on it. We have all seen or heard about the straight laced Harvard Grad, with a white picket fence, 2.5 kids and a dog. Who then snuck out on weekends to become a whore banging, coke snorting, gambling maniac.

And let's be honest, the perv was a close friend of JoePa's. Can you honestly say that if one of your closest friends was accused of something, you would automatically believe those claims? Especailly when he it seemed like such a departure from what you thought you knew

In hindsight, maybe JoePa should have done more. But can you honestly say you've never looked back on something and realized you didn't do enough? Have you ever tried removing yourself from a situation because of your relationship with the accused? From what I can tell, JoePa passed on the information to those above him. He didn't try hiding it.

This story should be about the perv, and helping the victims. Not Joe Paterno.
